Find the geometric mean between 6x and 24x.
A.)4
B.)12
C.)12x
Do you really expect someone to do all of these homework assignments for you?
Please stop just dumping these homework questions.
At least tell us what your choices are, and we will tell you if you are correct
I think it 12
Am i wrong?
yes
12x?
that's better. The sequence is thus
6x 12x 24x 48x . . .
the geometric mean between a and b is √ ab
Fo this problem, that's √[(6x)(24x)] = √ 144x^2 = 12x
12x
To find the geometric mean between two numbers, you need to take the square root of their product. In this case, we have 6x multiplied by 24x:
Geometric mean = √(6x * 24x)
To simplify this expression, we can multiply the coefficients (numbers in front of x) and combine the variables (x):
Geometric mean = √(6 * 24 * x * x)
Geometric mean = √(144 * x^2)
The square root of 144 is 12, and when you take the square root of x^2, you are left with x. So the geometric mean is:
Geometric mean = 12x
Therefore, the answer is C.) 12x.
